DenS Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi, I have found that some named intersections and waypoints are missing in the X-Plane 10 Cessna 172 GPS. For example the Venice, Florida Muni airport KVNC, Runway 23 approach plate; ZATUB, CUKBU and ZIKSA are not in the GPS. This is just an example, I have found others missing for this airport, which I consider 'home'. Am I doing something wrong or are they intentionally left out. How can I add them? Any help would be apprecitaed. DenS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ointment Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) It's probably not you. X-Plane nav data may very well be missing those waypoints. The best thing to do when you find missing waypoints, incorrect runway designations, incorrect airport ICAO codes or the like, is e-mail your findings to Robin Peel so he can include the corrections in the next X-Plane Airport and Navigation data update. http://data.x-plane.com/index.htmlFor guidelines on reporting errors, click this link: http://data.x-plane.com/contact.htmlHis e-mail address is robin@x-plane.com Edited February 7, 2014 by ointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ointment Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I believe you would use WED to add the data. Read the WED manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
